Liverpool star Cody Gakpo has invested in a company which is using AI to build a ‘European health operating system’.
The Dutchman, who played in the 4-1 FA Cup victory over Barnsley at Anfield on Monday night, has joined several other angel investors – including prominent entrepreneurs – into Zurich-based Ahead Health.
The $6 million seed round was led by RTP Global, with VC firms Tiny.VC and Pareto 20 also participating.
Founded in 2024 by ex-Google executives, medical doctors and HealthTech builders, Ahead Health combines preventive check-ups such as MRI scans, advanced blood tests, and CT-scans into a single platform to democratise access to sophisticated preventative healthcare.
